Yes. Over the summer, Hasbro announced the Star Wars license was extended to 2020...

Disney has a great relationship with Hasbro and Hasbro has a great relationship with LFL. I'm sure there will be some changes to the license that will happen with Disney taking over (Lucas getting a cut of Hasbro profits, for one thing), but unless someone throws a ****load of money at Disney, I really don't see them giving the license to anyone else anytime soon.

I couldn't wait to get home and log in here when I got an email at work about this. I thought for sure it was some massive prank but I guess not. Wow.......still in shock reading through this thread.....off to check all the links posted.....

Quite frankly, and I might be alone on this, I'd rather see Disney running the show than George Lucas. There's at least a chance that they get it (more) right.

You are not alone. I'm hoping that Disney's ego is a little more capable of taking in some fan feedback and righting the LFL ship to a degree. There's a lot of negativity surrounding the prequels and Indy IV. While it's hard to take as the creative party behind that you should at least pay some attention to those comments, given how widespread they are. It's not just a small, rabid group of fans voicing their discontent. I'm hoping that Disney can make it about the plot again rather than quite so much about marketing opportunities if only because they have that covered.

She's worked with the best for decades. She'll know how to find the right people for this stuff. Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Spielberg signs on for Star Wars - he's talked before about doing one and the connection is definitely there.
